Nice tribute, but so sad at the same time. I wish a recording of that performance would surface. Was she ever professionally diagnosed as an alcoholic?

Apparently.. She said she was on one of Peter Benjamin's tapes and seemed accepting of it.

In today's world, she would have access to non-destructive coping mechanisms. She was so damn fan friendly.

I could be wrong, but wasn't her appearance at Magic Mountain in 1974, not 1975? [[I know, I know, semantics... :) )

Yes. There is a rather detailed account of her time in AA in either Pete's or Maxine's book that's quite riveting. Her post-Supreme years proved to me a roller coaster of highs and lows, worthy of an entire book in itself.
